Large precursor electrical signals have been detected before many earthquakes

Large precursor electrical signals have been detected before many earthquakes including famously before the World Series earthquake in San Francisco.
The origin of those signals is not known but peer reviewed studies in some cases ruled out ground sources but specifically excluded off ground sources from the data set.

Earthquake faults heating up from new stresses can be detected on infra-red satellites now

Earthquake faults heating up from new stresses can be detected on infra-red satellites now and unusual fault heating along with ions over the fault can under the right atmospheric conditions also cause moisture to rise from the earth at the fault which can condense to form a high altitude "earthquake cloud" that sometimes points like campfire smoke to the fault about to rupture. This was specifically seen on satellite above Iran before a quake ( ).

It is also possible to detect changes in the electrical field over the ground in space near earthquake faults under stress

It is also possible to detect changes in the electrical field over the ground in space near earthquake faults under stress and we are working on delivering data sources of that to you. Until recently the French Demeter satellite did this, but they did not share their data and the satellite was turned of March 17, 2011. It however detected clearly ionospheric electrical activity as a decrease in electron density above Haiti three days before the mag 7 earthquake on January 12, 2010. It also observed an increase in the densities and a decrease in the temperature which were well localized above the future epicenter in Samoa seven days before that earthquake on September 29, 2009.

Another method of predicting earthquakes has identified the influence of the moon's angle to the equator or distance from earth in its orbit as a factor

Another method of predicting earthquakes has identified the influence of the moon's angle to the equator or distance from earth in its orbit as a factor. The former brojon.com website used this technique to some success:
"(Fig. 3) This chart shows the accuracy of the BroJon Calculator for the last half year. The predictions showed that the highest probability observed in the past several decades occurred on Dec 26, 2004, when the moon was full and on the same day was at highest declination extension, along with the sun at opposition and at lowest winter declination on Dec 21. The computer model also predicted the dates of the largest earthquakes for each of the succeding months within several days. This is the same program used to make Fig. 1 above."

The goal of this website since it's premier years ago has always been to education people about these hypothesis's and to present far ranging LIVE DATA so amateurs and professional researchers can look at the data for correlations themselves. NOTHING makes an implausible connection more real than seeing the source data graphed live by a respected institution like NASA. The live data is further down the page.

Let's explore the power of the suns solar wind

- as you can see from these live movies from the NASA SOHO satellite - which is looking at the sun right now - the sun is constantly in flux and giant explosions on its surface hurl variable amounts of electric protons (solar wind) our way. These are variations in solar wind.
Below are actual live pictures of the sun from space RIGHT NOW. Notice the dates in each picture. On the left you can see the sun in different wavelengths with all the flares and sunspots. On the right the sun is covered so you see only the corona around the sun. This makes it easier to see large ejection masses from the Sun. If they head directly at Earth you can see them billow out on both sides and hit the satellite. (sometimes you can see comets go around the sun too.)

The NASA POES satellites in polar orbit right now measure the energy in the solar wind several times a day when crossing the earth poles.

This Geomagnetic sensor in Fresno, California show changes in earth's magnetic field near Fresno California.

Following Electricquakes by 5 or 10 years the The Jet Propulsion Labs and the Quakefinders Organization has been heavily involved in the detection of electromagnetic precursors to earthquakes which you can read about here

Length of Day changes since 1975 as measured by the US Naval Observatory in microseconds

If that wasn't enough the earth's poles (the center of rotation) also move around! The US Naval Observatory plots those changes too!

The Navy actually plots the changesinthe motion of the earth compared to the changes in the atmosphere now.

Comparison Plots of Earth Orientation Variations and Atmospheric Excitation:
Variations in the distribution and flow of the Earth's fluid constituents are thought to be responsible for the observed variations in the Earth's polar motion and rate of rotation (UT1). This reflects the physical principle of conservation of angular momentum for the whole-Earth system, including both the solid and fluid parts.

The plots below compare the geodetically observed EOP variations (Green and Blue lines)with the expected effects due to the atmosphere (red lines). While the atmosphere is only one of the geophysical fluids responsible for EOP variations, it is the most important and most accurately observed. The atmosphere data used here are produced by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) as a byproduct of their meteorological assimilation models. Two time series of geodetic observations are shown for comparison -- the Bulletin A combination (Blue Line) and the IGS Final series based on GPS data only (Green Line).

Routinely it is in the 8 to 12 GIGAWATT range. Yes that's GIGAWATTS. A gigawatt is 1000 times a mega watt. The San Onofre Nuclear power plant only generates 2 Gigawatts. When this force hits the earth it tends to head in at the poles and this lights up huge parts of the earth's sky known as the northern lights. Yes, it's that strong and more. This satellite watches the Aurora and estimates where the northern lights will be. When the solar wind is very strong the Aurora or "northern lights" can be seen all the way south to California.

Current Auroral Estimate ( one indication of the solar wind)

That is FAR more power than exerted by many influences on the earth and plenty to exert physically phenomenon such as spin changes and earth electrical interactions. (in fact the 1989 Canadian power blackout was traced directly to a solar flare) .

So you can see the Earth is really getting hit by big variations everyday.

Don't forget that the earth ALREADY has huge amounts of electric power running through the earth below your feet.

Giant currents flow through the earth which you don't feel because they don't go through you. These are called Telluric Currents. People searching for oil use them in a process called Magnetotellurics to find strata in the earth. The currents are induced in earth by changes in the ionosphere around earth which is caused by the ionosphere being hit by the solar wind. When huge fluctuations come from the Solar wind and they compress the magnetosphere around earth this can radically change those currents and induce voltages and currents in powerlines. That can cause BIG electrical blackouts over huge areas.

The long and the short of this is that there are HUGE electrical forces hitting the earth which affect it's spin, charge , atmosphere and it's faults. Therefore there may be correlations between when earthquakes are triggered and many of these sensors.

Many scientists have studied these forces as peered reviewed contributors to the Journal of Geophysical Research.

I quote "To research the "perfect space storm" of 1859, Tsurutani and co-writers Walter Gonzalez, of the Brazilian National Space Institute, and Gurbax Lakhina and Sobhana Alex, of the India Institute of Geomagnetism, used previously reported ground, solar and auroral observations, and recently re-discovered ground-based magnetic- field data from Colaba Observatory in India. The findings were published in a recent issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research.""

Back to the logic of it all:

So how can we predict when the Sun will hit us with big solar winds that might trigger stressed earthquake faults to create an earthquake at that time?

Here's where it gets REALLY interesting.

Did you know those 200 variable solar wind GIGAWATT were directly influenced by the positions of the planets. Yes. They really were. "How can that be?" You might say. "That sounds like nonsense!"

In fact as any astronomer will tell you, the whole solar system does not revolve around the sun like you were taught in grade school. Actually it all -including the sun- revolves around the center of gravity of the WHOLE solar SYSTEM called the Barycenter. The position of Jupiter - because it is SO big even though it is far from the Sun- is also one of the primary determiners of the position of the barycenter. Consider the barycenter as the center of the teeter totter and Jupiter is the fat kid sitting way out at the end of the long plank. He can really tilt everything a lot.

Two bodies with a slight difference in mass orbiting around a common barycenter.

Two bodies with a major difference in mass orbiting around a common barycenter.

Two bodies with an extreme difference in mass orbiting around a common barycenter.

The position of the solar system's center of gravity or Barycenter is computed in Ephemera by astronomers every day. Astronomers calculate where the planets will be many years in the future and for 100's of years in the past. it's easy using computers because the planets follow predictable paths based on gravity and orbits. So the location of the center of gravity of the whole solar system barycenter is known in the future because it is determined by the all planet's orbital positions which can be precisely calculated as well 100's of years in past and present .

Occasionally when the planets align in certain ways the barycenter can pass right through the sun itself. This is a bit like your dog occasionally walking right through your body. As you can imagine that could possibly effect your circulation patterns and that is what happens with the sun. Remember the Sun is not solid. It is very fluid like with internal circulation patterns that can easily get disturbed just like you can spoil a whirlpool in a drain with just the tip of your little finger. When the sun's circulation patterns are affected, solar flares and periods of high solar activity can result.

Even when the barycenter just nudges the edge of sun it can really mess with it. And Mercury is close enough to toy with the sun all by itself.

Mercury despite it's small size has the greatest measured effect on the sun because of how close it is to the Sun. Venus and Jupiter are next in line because of Venus's close proximity and Jupiter's huge size respectively.

So you see there ARE big direct scientifically measurable effects of other planets on the earth because of their positions affecting the sun which directly affects us in a huge way.

The sun like a water hose nozzle and the planets can squeeze that nozzle and greatly effect the jets of Solar wind that hit earth.

So don't be quite so quick to scoff at the possible physical influence of the planets and the sun on the earth (and therefore possibly on earthquake timing). The planetary/solar effect on earth is real and measured by NASA EVERY SINGLE DAY. and variations in the sun's Sunspots have been measured for over 400 yrs.

So we now know that gravity is by no means the greatest force exerted on the planet earth by other planets. So Carl Sagan's famous quote about "the nurses' gravity affecting you more than the gravity of a planet" not withstanding, poor Carl (who I loved and respected) missed the relevant mechanism. I assure you that your nurse had nothing like the effect of 200 GIGAWATTS of Solar wind on you no matter how electrifying she may have been.

Unfortunately so many seismologists have no knowledge of astronomy or space solar electrical phenomenon that they have no way to know how little they know.

There are many intricacies of solar wind - for example the polarity of the solar wind changes every 28 days. The Sun's polarized solar wind would look like spokes of a wheel if you could see it. I would propose the moon's orbit settled the way it did to synchronize with the changing polarity of the sun's solar wind because when it was non synchronous the forces on the congealing moon mass would nudge it in the right direction.

Many people have tied surges in solar wind to earthquakes, and I have now shown you how it might work. The data is there and secondary detected effects also sometimes coincide and have been detected. For example the low EM waves that scientists sometimes have been detected before quakes could easily be affects of solar wind bursts hitting the Earth. The best studies of those EM signals preceding the Loma Preita earthquake EXCLUDED non earth originations of the EM waves and found no correlation to quakes. This means if there is a correlation the waves must originate off earth as a solar wind would ( the Stanford scientists leading the study assumed the waves were earth originating and hence specifically excluded data signals from space thus unknowingly excluding the possible primary data stream.)

According to none other than a sitting Secretary of Defense Cohen in 1997 in a speech you can check yourself on the Defense Department's Website he claimed people were working on weapons "whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves."

Here is the original info plus the original link to his full speech on
the official Department of Defense website.

Cohen's keynote address at the Conference on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass
Destruction, and U.S. Strategy at the Georgia Center, Mahler Auditorium,
University of Georgia, Athens, Ga. The event is part of the Sam Nunn
Policy Forum being hosted by the University of Georgia. Secretary Cohen
is joined by Sen. Sam Nunn and Sen. Richard G. Lugar.]

I quote directly from the defense Secretary's comments on that page "Others are engaging
even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate,
set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of
electromagnetic waves. "

More completely see his response to the question.

Begin Quoted text

Q: Let me ask you specifically about last week's scare here in
Washington, and what we might have learned from how prepared we are to
deal with that (inaudible), at B'nai Brith.
A: Well, it points out the nature of the threat. It turned out to be a
false threat under the circumstances. But as we've learned in the
intelligence community, we had something called -- and we have James
Woolsey here to perhaps even address this question about phantom moles.
The mere fear that there is a mole within an agency can set off a chain
reaction and a hunt for that particular mole which can paralyze the
agency for weeks and months and years even, in a search. The same thing
is true about just the false scare of a threat of using some kind of a
chemical weapon or a biological one. There are some reports, for
example, that some countries have been trying to construct something
like an Ebola Virus, and that would be a very dangerous phenomenon, to
say the least. Alvin Toeffler has written about this in terms of some
scientists in their laboratories trying to devise certain types of
pathogens that would be ethnic specific so that they could just
eliminate certain ethnic groups and races; and others are designing some
sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific
crops. Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby
they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely
through the use of electromagnetic waves.
So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work
finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations. It's
real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our efforts, and
that's why this is so important.

- a small smoke detector styled and sized device that attaches to a wall simply with velcro tape and runs on a 9 volt battery that lasts for months. This Earthquake
Alarm can give you extra seconds of advanced warning BY SOUNDING A LOUD ALARM before you are shaken by a strong quake .
10, 20 or 30 seconds warning can really make a huge difference by allowing you to be prepared to feel the motion and securing yourself, property, loved ones or just grabbing your clothes and shoes before the strong swaying motion starts. It works by detecting the very slight P-wave which travels faster than the destructive S-wave which, like a distant lighting flash preceeds thunder, can give you many seconds before you are really shaken by an earthquake with an epicenter a few miles away. In this way it can act like an earthquake warning system if the earthquake or aftershock is rolling towards you from a few miles away. This can REALLY give you a lot of peace of mind because everyone who has lived through one knows it is the complete lack of warning of most earthquakes that is the most unsettling. This device will chime before you feel any large earthquake that does not originate right under you.
Think of it as a warning like the flash before thunder - if the lighting is a few miles away the flash gives you warning before the thunder hits you. If the lighting strikes right were you are you won't obviously get any warning but MOST EARTHQUAKES THAT AFFECT YOU START A FEW MILES AWAY.

This is not a hoax or gimmick. It is as scientific a sensor as a seismograph (It IS a reverse pendulum seismograph rigged to an alarm that hangs on your wall for $29!)

It works!

I have been using one since April 2010, and it has sounded an alarm about 20-30 seconds before EVERY quake over 4.0 near Mexico that later shook me in Los Angeles. It wakes me up if I am sleeping too. I now sleep better knowing I will be woken up before most shaking earthquakes are felt. I CANNOT RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH. For $29 you should just GET
ONE. (If you can't see the picture because you run adblock then copy and paste this text http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001D8NMY4/ref=as_sl_pd_tf_lc?tag=equakes-20 into a new tab to see it on Amazon. ) A few extra seconds to wake up and get out of bed or get off a ladder or grab your pet and get out the door or cover your children's heads makes all the difference!

As a test count to 20 now. It's a lot of TIME! The alarm routinely gives me that much warning before the shaking starts from earthquakes on faults near Los Angeles,CA.

I make almost nothing from the sale of these (About $1 from Amazon). I don't own the product or company. That isn't why I am recommending them. They give you possibly life saving warning and give you some peace of mind when sleeping. It's also cool for amateur seismologists and children because you can make it VERY sensitive to any earth motion if you turn the sensitivity way up so your kids can learn about science and seismology. Again I highly recommend them. It is a remarkable device for those living in fear of earthquakes and aftershocks.
